Use Save..Export, then you have a lot of choice of "extensions" (the
extension actually means nothing; proof is your renaming of
.png into .gif
experiment of last week; that's why I prefer to think in
terms of "file
format"): PNG, EPS, CGM, WMF, etc, etc.
You have to experiment with your target software (MS Word ?)
to check what it prefers to receive.

I recommend WMF. It stands for Windows Meta File, IIRC, and is the native
format used by Windows for vector data saved to the clipboard. It is also
the format that the technical writer at my work prefers for use in
documents, and he uses MS Word. "WMF, the format of professionals."
